About this property

River Perch on the Cacapon: private home on 27 acres and 1200 ft of riverfront

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway on the Cacapon River just 2 hours from downtown DC. This newly remodeled private home is situated on 27 acres with 1200 feet of river front to explore. The home has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, living room, sunroom, stainless kitchen and a full length porch with outdoor dining for 10. Watch the bald eagles fly overhead or just listen to the music of the Cacapon run past your house. Our high speed WIFI makes it ideal for remote work.

We provide everything you need, including all linens, bath towels/hand towels/washcloths, extra ‘river’ towels, paper towels, toilet paper, fully equipped kitchen for the discerning chef including basic spices and sugar, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, hand soap, and dish soap/detergent.

In addition to the 3 bedrooms (2 with queens and 1 with 2 twins), there is a queen pull-out couch for an extra guest or two. Ascending the stairs from the driveway, you will immediately be able to take in the incredible river views from the deck that spans the entire front of the house.

Maximum of 2 dogs permitted for an additional fee

Guests can enjoy fishing, kayaking, swimming, and more just a few hundred feet from the front of the home! Or enjoy the river by just sitting on the edge of the river in the comfortable river chairs provided by River Perch.

As River Perch is near many national forests, national parks, and state parks, it makes a great starting point for exploring this part the Appalachian and Blue Ridge mountains. Shenandoah National Park (48 miles), Cacapon Resort State Park (26 miles), Lost River State Park (42 miles). Hiking in the George Washington National Forest or the Nature Conservancy's Ice Mountain are less than 20 minutes away.

Weekend with the Grandkids

This is absolutely the best rental we have experienced through VRBO so far. Mr Glenn was the best host and communication was prompt. The house is lovely and the river is even better. Our young ones had so much fun riding the available tubes down the river. Quiet and secluded but only minutes to town. We will definitely be returning.

Very enjoyable property.

Well kept and maintained property. First time with a river view and we all liked it. Two things convey better than expected, seclusion in nature and picturesque.

A perfect stay in a serene setting

We had an amazing short stay at River Perch. Glenn is an exceptional host and the home is perfectly appointed for a relaxing stay. The house is newly remodeled and they did an amazing job. The view of the river is stunning from both of the living areas and the deck is perfect. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and was very clean. The 3 bedrooms were set up wonderfully and there were plenty of towels (and beach towels!). The river was so fun and a great spot for bird watching. We ate some s’mores down at the river over a fire which was a perfect end to an absolutely lovely stay.

Listen to the river flow by

My family had a lovely time. The house and location were just right. Big, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds. Enjoy the river from the covered front porch or walk over to the riverside and sit near the waters edge. Large fun tubes available to float in the cool water. Bring a mask and snorkel and look for crayfish in the rocky shallows. We visited nearby markets in Capon Bridge and Wardensville for fresh produce and interesting local crafts. Some of us brought mtn bikes and road some nearby trails.

Clean and cozy river cabin

Really lovely cabin that feels like new inside and out. Great covered deck that we enjoyed even during a rainy weekend. Extremely helpful and welcoming host who has all the extras for stay already included like paper towels, linens and a kitchen utensils. The river view is beautiful and it’s a quiet and relaxing spot.

Beautifully renovated house right on the river, where you could listen to the river and the birds from the covered porch. Firepit was perfect for cooking up hot dogs and smores. Glenn was an excellent host, making sure our stay was comfortable. Will definitely stay again in the future!

Mothers' Day weekend family trip

This is a beautiful and spacious home with river access and porch for sunning and relaxing. We spent 2 of our 4-night hiking trip here. The owner went out of his way for us, lighting the fire pit, and bringing smore fixings for the kids (12 and 13). Inner tubes and kayaks were available, and despite the cold temp., the kids tubed down the shallow river and were in heaven! Spotlessly clean, and we were thrilled to find Rummikub in the game cupboard. Quiet, private area.

Fantastic private stay with great hosts

Our stay at River Perch was fantastic! It was a perfect retreat for us to watch the leaves fall and take in nature for a few days. The kitchen was gorgeous and very well stocked and WiFi/internet access was strong enough for us both to work remote with no issues. Glenn went the extra mile, with recommendations to one of the best burgers in the DMV, firestarters and smores supplies for the firepit by the river, and literally when returning a few forgotten items left in the cabin. Thanks for such a wonderful stay and making our anniversary feel special!
